no, i never posted that on the other board, that was someone else. i have no problem admitting when my ideas are stupid. i was one of the people wanting to give siefert at least another year to work things out. now, with our new staff in place, i'm glad things didn't work out the way i wanted them to. as far as the middle east goes, i'll give you a detailed history of the area since the moghul empire dominated the arabian peninsula if you'ld like, and i think you'll see that i have quite an understanding of what i say i do. you, on the other hand, make up things because you have no info and take small parts out of articles and portray them out of context. that doesn't take much intelligence now does it?
